  • You Got Got?

    You Got Got?

    Thoughts: I love listening to the word of God every moment I can. I heard today “The Son of God became the Son of man so He could empower the sons of man to become the sons of God.” But even in that, He let it be our choice.

    Looking back at my Christian journey, I see why I am where I am today. I feel so bereft spiritually. The gospel I was listening to was but another gospel. The emphasis was on how to get prosperous in this life. The scriptures used were of course the standard “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper …..” and the favorite Jer 29:11. Now the KJV says “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Now this same verse in the NIV bible, the King of prosperity bible the verse all of a sudden says “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the LORD (watch for the change) ” plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” this is private interpretation— but Peter said “that no prophecy of scripture is for private interpretation.” The reason given for using the NIV is that it has a better handle for today’s language. And then when you compare it to the KJV you are told the people who interpreted the KJV made errors in interpretation. My thinking is where was the Holy Ghost who is the originator when these errors were made and given to people as the gospel truth? And how are the present NIV interpretations most accurate and did not make errors in their interpretations of the scriptures?

    Anyway, before I started my ranting, my thoughts and feelings were that the word is true in saying you cannot serve two masters (God or mammon). What I learned was how to use God to get to mammon. The takeaway is that mammon is superior to God and chasing it would end all my problems. Yes, I know I had itchy ears and went to what I wanted to hear (an admonition I did not head out of the bible).

    Jesus’ coming was an education as to how we are separated from God; how we were/are born into a sin filled world, a world that does not gravitate to goodness. If this separation was not corrected with the death and resurrection of Christ, we humans had only one place to go—hell. Our eyes are now open to choice in life, Christ bridged the gap, we can choose God or stay where we are with the knowledge that hell is the result of not making a choice. Choosing life with Christ brings about prosperity in all areas of life and in the upcoming life after death.

    Instead of going where the motivation is what you think you need to make it in this world, seek the Kingdom of God and all else you need and desire will be added unto you. When these things are added to you, you will not care about them because the love relationship you develop with the Holy Ghost will outweigh everything this world has to offer you; then you will experience real life, peace, and satisfaction with life.

    Don’t fall for the okey-doke–the teaching that consumes you with chasing riches to fulfill your “thirst” in this life. What does the teaching offer you in the life after this one? Look for Christ, and when you are found by Him, hold on for a rough ride till you meet Him face to face. The kingdoms of this world will shake you till the day you go six feet under to loosen your grip on this treasure you have found so you can slide to hell with them.

  • Let’s Dig In 2

    Let’s Dig In 2

    Put your helmet on, this is mind boggling; easily seen as childish imaginations. Truely own who you are—that blood washed, blood bought, son of the living God, victorious in every situation, more than a conqueror as we walk this part of this journey! Know that you are not of this world.

    “Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that be with them.” Mmmmh you are probably wondering where we see this. Remember when Elisha prayed to the Lord (evidence of the invisible world) to open the eyes (natural eyes to see in the spiritual realm) of his young man who then saw the chariots and horses of fire round about Elisha? But Elisha said “those that be with them” — who are they?

    Paul admonished “For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities…”. The dictionary’s definition of a principality (also called a princedom) is “a type of monarchial state or feudal territory ruled by a prince or princess. It can be either a sovereign state or a constituent part of a larger political entity”. Since we are privied to live in such a tech society, AI has an overview of a biblical “definition” that states a principality as “hierarchical order of spiritual beings or authorities… understood to exert influence and rule over various aspects of human life and the world, including nations, institutions, and even individual lives.” Let reality hit you.

    Each local, whether it be state, city, county, neighborhoods, even down to individuals, fight against a territory with an identified ruler, who wields authority. This is an organized, well thought out, and an undeniably devastating infestation. They are the beginning of your sorrows.

    Problem: we know close to nothing about our enemy, but they know everything about us. We don’t even acknowledge their existence. Instead, our fight is to gain material possessions as we die by degrees.

    Solution: read the Word of God for yourself asking the Holy Spirit to aluminate it for you.
